Vikings release A.J. Jefferson after Monday morning arrest

It has been less than 24 hours since the Vikings’ tie with the Packers came to an end, but cornerback A.J. Jefferson has been pretty busy.

A Hennepin County Jail spokesperson confirmed with Tom Pelissero of USA Today that Jefferson is in jail after being arrested on Monday morning on probable cause for domestic assault. There are no other details available at the moment, but we do know that Jefferson won’t be a member of the Vikings as he deals with any further legal matters related to the arrest.

The Vikings announced that they have released Jefferson. He’ll be available to any team that wants to claim him on waivers, although that seems unlikely given Jefferson’s other alleged activities on Monday.

Jefferson, who has five tackles and an interception in 10 games this season, was arrested little more than two weeks after wide receiver Jerome Simpson was arrested on drunk driving charges.

If they would have released Chris Cook after his arrest, they would be a lot better off today. Ironically, Jefferson has the only interception by a cornerback this year, while Cook still doesn’t have on in his career.

I think Chris Cook took it a little too far when the Vikings coaching staff asked him to mentor AJ Jefferson. I think they were talking about the activities between the two side lines although based on Jefferson’s sub standard play, he seemed to follow in Cook’s footsteps in that department too.

Maybe if the Viking cornerbacks would hit more on the field, their wives and girlfriends wouldn’t be in danger.

Big Ben is lucky he doesn’t play for a stand up organization like Minny or he’d be on the streets or flipping burgers at the Piggly Wiggly. How soon before the Degenerate Broncos sign this clown. He can hang with their city’s limp wristed, kidnapping goalie Semyon Varlamov and have a few laughs while exchange domestic assault stories.

Imagine how many times this happened in GB? But cops don’t arrest Packers in Mamby Pamby land. Other teams realize there is more to life than being drunk, fat , stupid and football, well maybe except New Orleans

I thought in America you were innocent until proven guilty???

Legally, yes. But that has nothing to do with your job. I have every right in the world to walk around my house in my boxers, wearing a monster mask, but if I try going into work like that, it’s going to be an issue. In the eyes of the law, Jefferson is innocent, but in the eyes of the Vikings, they’re done with this jag.
